Welcome back to our next inspiration card by Hannah: Okay, this has to be one of the absolute SWEETEST cards I've ever seen. Hannah's scene with the mama and baby bird is precious. The sentiment works perfectly, too! Hannah has done a great job with this layout. I love the center panel matted on the darker cardstock and layered on the pink/salmon colored background.
Here is my take. I was especially inspired by Hannah to use some pinks in my card (not my typical go-to color) and to create a very linear card and matted background.

It's also Project Of the Week time over at the blog of my LSS, Mementos which means I have another card and video to share with you. Here's the card:And the video:

Thanks again for visiting and for all of your sweet comments on the blog hop post yesterday! HUGS!

  Next up on this long post (sure hope you don't mind) is our last inspiration card by Dawn. Wow! It's been such a fun week sharing Dawn's amazing cards and I am beyond thankful that she has allowed me to post just a tidbit of her awesome work here. Check out this absolute stunner: Dawn is such a pro! I love the layout of this card, with the polka dots on the bottom and the subtle leaves stamped on the top. The main panel perfectly combines cute and vintage. And of course, you can't look at a card by Dawn and not comment on the color scheme- I'm lovin' the grey, red, green, and tan combination!
  Here is my take featuring one of my favorite Papertrey Ink sets, Boards and Beams:

Thanks so much to everyone who has stopped by this week. See you next week---I can't wait to share the work of our next featured stamper. Her cards ALWAYS catch my eye over in the Hero Arts flickr gallery!

Dawn McVey *Day 3* AND A VIDEO

Here's our next beautiful card by Dawn:

Once again, I am in complete awe of Dawn's daring color choices. I love the bold red background on her card. The layered stamping in the background has such a natural look. And the beautiful tag and sentiment go perfectly with the background images!
Here is my take. I made my red/orange background using distress ink--Fired Brick and Rusty Hinge on white cardstock.

Now on to my next video. I am going to try and post a new video and card each Wednesday, as I get make a Project Of the Week (POW!) card for my local scrapbook store's blog, Mementos. Here's the card for this week:

And here's the video. I show a couple of techniques in this video including masking and reverse/mirror image stamping. Thanks so much for watching!!!


And did you notice---no wierd mirror images of my hand or ink pads in this video?! LOL- I'm learning... thanks for your patience as this is only my second video. :)
HUGS and see you tomorrow with another truly amazing card by Dawn!
